A study led by Chinese radiologists at Peking University in Beijing has shown that positron emission tomography imaging of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) expression is a predictor for the abscopal effect, whereby nonirradiated cancers respond to radiotherapy.
Keeping you up to date on recent developments in cardiology, including: Fibroblast growth factor a marker for left ventricular hypertrophy in dialysis patients; Consortium updates endpoints for aortic valve studies; ‘Reclip,’ surgery square off for patients with failed mitral valve repair.
A collaboration aimed at identifying and developing potential new antimalarial drug candidate drugs has been announced between Walter and Eliza Hall Institute for Medical Research in Melbourne, Australia, and Janssen Pharmaceutica, with assistance from Johnson & Johnson Innovation. The collaboration has already discovered promising compounds with antimalarial activity from among 80,000 drug-like molecules in the Janssen Jumpstarter Compound Library, a collection of drug-like compounds designed to fast-track discovery of new medicines.
Twenty years after the first, exclusively white human genomes were fully sequenced, science finds itself in the same position as the rest of society: with the uncomfortable realization that old inequalities are often morphing, rather than disappearing.

The enzyme proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) plays a major role in the regulation of blood LDL cholesterol levels. Now, new research shows that targeting PCSK9 may also potentiate checkpoint blockade.
